Mike Janes has been a police officer for 23 years, 20 of those with the Fishers Police Department.  The Fishers City Council honored Major Janes Monday night for his 20 years of service to the the city.

“Mike has always been a very honest person through those 20 years of knowing him,” said Police Chief Ed Gebhart.  “He’s always put the agency, the community and the profession first, and his decision-making always exemplified that.”
